display on New Year's Uuy. Fine New Jersey and

LITE STOCK MARKETS, 
NliW Yolttc, Dec. 38, 1870. 
TllAOJO has been very dull since the advent of such 
a heavy supply of holiday stock. Butchers laid In 
large quantities, hut the demand for poultry loaves the 
beeves and sheep undisposed of. Butchers complain 
of an extremely dull market, and the iiiqelr lighter 
run of all kinds of tine stuck ts more limn aufllcient. 
Snow storms at the West have obstructed the roads 
somewhat, so that stock trains arrive behind time, 
11 ml the animals are Injured in looks and weight In 
consequence.

Keevea.—After the fat beef of last, week—not all 
eaten up yet—almost every one turned to poultry, 
milking determined raids upon the turkeys, gocseiind 
chickens, hut neglecting the meat stalls. Butchers 
complain that they have seldom hud so hard a time, 
even during a holiday week, and they hit- not now 
ready to purchase cattle. The light supply of 5,818, 
or 1,700 less than the previous week wlieii 'hu ani¬ 
mals were much heavier,a* well ft* more nu lennis, 
proves too many fur present wonts Borne ut the 
3,873 cattle offered hist Monday are yet unsold, and so 
are a portion of tin- 749arriving to-day. Dealers cal¬ 
culated upon a dull market, hut had ho idea of its ex¬ 
treme depression. Tim ifiany drovers thought nt,horn 
would hold hack, so they would (tome forward with 
cattle. The result was 2,txxj more cattle for the week 
than were really needed, and so many live animals 
have butchers yet uiisiuughtered, with the heavy 
stock of *1 reused beef Mill on hand, and 11 ear loud of 
Chicago dressed beef urrJVliig nearly every day, that 
it will take another week before 11 lively trade can be 
expected. The went her Is the finest for the trade, 
Init, people *e,em to thrnk tluU tlo y should have one 
good long feast upon poultry during the year, and 
they take it at this season. 
Nearly all Ihe holiday droves were sent in before 
Christmas, What are fell, will probably be kept, for 
Washington’s Birthday, winelt Is utinther call lor 
extra Tat cattle. The stock of the past week has 
generally been thin, with quite a sprinkling 01 little 
State steer*, dry cows, old oxen, slag" and hulls, sidl¬ 
ing from le. M Oi., live weight, up to l ie., net, A sin¬ 
gle cur extra fat euttlo are on the market, one pair of 
which sold at 18c.

MISCELLANEOUS. 
The Center Market, on Pennsylvania avenue, 
Washington, was destroyed by tiro on the 17th 
ult. Two men engaged in removing goods wore 
suffocated, and their bodies burned beyond rc- 
cognilion. 
The United Slates steamship Yantlc, whllo re¬ 
turning from her trip to assist in the laying of 
the Aspin wall cable, ran ashore at the entrance 
of San Domingo harbor. It will be necessary to 
disehaigo her armament and coals to get her 
afloat. 
The St Senators who retire in IB71. stand politi¬ 
cally as followsRepublicans, SI; Democrats. 3. 
We count Mr. Johnston Of Va.. a Democrat. In 
estimating the political complexion of the ‘41 
Senators Whoso terms will begin March 4,1871, 
the representative from Missouri must be con¬ 
sidered doubtful, ami perhaps the one from Ar¬ 
kansas also. The other 22 will stand as follows: 
Republicans, 14; Democrats, 8,—u certain Dem¬ 
ocratic gain of 5 Senators. The utmost gain for 
tlio minority will bo 7: the probable gain, allow¬ 
ing Missouri, 6. This still leaves, of course, nn 
overwhelming Republican majority in Um Up¬ 
per House. 
The pet receipts of the Patent Office for the 
year 1870 will nearly reach the sum of $.130,000. 
During 1809 they wore $300,000, showing a very 
considerable falling off during the last. year. 
This is owing to the extravagant expenditures 
in the repairs of rooms and the like. 
The hotel at Rutherford Park, N. J., was des¬ 
troyed by lire on the ‘35th ult., caused by the 
explosion of the gasometer. Loss over $50,000. 
Gen. Si'hen ok of Ohio, has been appointed 
Minister to England, and has aoceptod the posi¬ 
tion, and been confirmed hy the Senate. Hois 
expected to resign after the holiday recess, and 
sail for Europe on the 18th inst. 
The general amnesty hill passed by the Mexi¬ 
can Congress, aud proclaimed by Juarez, ex¬ 
tends to all except Manpmso, Mejia, Quirga, 
Archbishop Labnstida and Flishop Omaches. 
After protracted und hitter discussion tlio 
Senate before adjournment, passed tlio resolu¬ 
tion for the appointment, of three commission¬ 
ers to visit Sail Domingo, to investigate ami re¬ 
port. The House has not yot. acted upon the 
matter. 
Gen. Pleasanton of New York has boon ap¬ 
pointed Commissioner of Internal Revenue. 
Senator Drake of Missouri has received the ap¬ 
pointment of Chief Justice of the Court of 
Claims, and been confirmed by the Senate. 
The paper warehouse o[ MeVean & Hastings 
at Rochester was burned on the 2$Hh lilt. Loss, 
$15,000. Insurance, $1J,IXHI. Tim building, one 
of the old land marks of Rochester, was owned 
hy II. C, Webster. Loss, $10,000. Insurance, 
$ 8 , 000 . 
A lire at Poughkeepsie on Ihe 30th ult., des¬ 
troyed property to a huge amount. Another 
lire at Vulatic, Columbia Co., destroyed the 
Hotel and other property'.

ihe Voice of Experience.—" In common with 
Other large advertisers, we have had occasion ti> 
do business with advertising agents to a largo 
extent, We have tried nearly all tile various 
agencies, but came to the conclusion long ago 
that we could do better by giving our business 
io Geo. P, Howell & Co,, No. 40 Purk Row, New 
\ ork, than by employing any other persons. 
I hey are prepared to insert an advertisement in 
one or four thou-aud papers, and at t lm pub¬ 
lishers’ lowest prices. We have tried them do¬ 
ing business with them weekly and we know 
they can do our advertisiug hotter ami eheuper 
than wo could do it, ourselves. Having the most 
extensive laeilities for doing business, they 
never make mistakes--at least, they never make 
mistakes on our work,”— From Hunter A Co.’s

Heeswax.—The Inquiry continues small, and 32c. 
has been the selling price since our last. 
Broom G’oru.-Yho market!* very dull, and sell¬ 
ers will accept low prices for late arrivals on truck 
uurl wharf rather than add (Item to the full supply in 
store. There have beeu sales at 3fo4c. for red, 5fo6c. 
for green, and for hurl; a few lots of choice 
brush will exceed 7 c. 
Butler. There hus been u better appearance of 
activity daring the post week than we have enjoyed 
for some time before, but it bri* only prevailed among 
dealers who could satisfy the fastidious taste of those 
who lire accustomed tu an old-ftlshbmod loll winter 
supply of line grades. These qualities, under Ihe 
late spurt, have been pretty well sold up, and alter 
quoting an imaginary price for a quality that no one 
lias, nor is likely to be suddenly received, dealers urn 
enabled to talk off good useful table sorts that have 
been neglected during late tree receipts of fresh fall, 
without, howa$or, adding anything to recent figures. 
In fact, dealers wisely show no Inclination to press 
prices for anything, their object being to lighten the 
stock, and their aim Is at present aided through mod¬ 
erated receipts. There Is now apparently a chance 
for tile market to revolve Into a more satisfactory 
shape, should itcUveil",* continue light and there be 
no strained attempt on the part of sellers to recover 
back losses, which would ee.rtuinlv result In checking 
what scorn* to bn a rising demand. Farther parcels of 
low grades have been moved at cheap prices, making 
In all, for tlio past three weeks, about 1 , 5(10 packages 
that have left the stock; timer lartl has helped the 
movement; if (he lard market docs not react, more 
can be disposed of. Very little Western other than 
rolls Is arriving; these have a wide range, but the 
best will readily bring full prices.
